The Brief
To create a captivating series of CGI still images showcasing the exquisite Gucci Beauty collection that lends itself to the holiday campaign while celebrating Chinese New Year 2024, the Year of the Dragon.
Year of
the Dragon
Embracing the luminous glow of a new beginning, the Chinese New Year heralds a time of prosperity, unity, and unbridled hope. The splendid Gladiolus, Peonies, and Orchids don't merely bloom; they narrate a tale of resilience, wealth, and delicate beauty that's deeply embedded in Chinese cultural symbolism.
The Gladiolus, with its sword-like leaves, stands tall, symbolising strength and moral integrity. The opulent Peonies, often referred to as the 'King of Flowers' in Chinese culture, embody wealth and honor, resonating with the festive spirit of abundance.
Finally the Orchids, a perennial epitome of refinement and friendship, harmoniously weave a thread through our campaign, embracing associations of many cherished gatherings and eternal bonds.

Campaign
Complementing the exquisite Creative Packshots, the lifestyle creatives adopt a minimalist design philosophy to spotlight the Gucci Beauty products in their full majesty. This approach emphasises each products' details and luxury, allowing them to be the centrepiece of each scene.
The backdrop is illuminated with a sunset-like glow, intentionally chosen to echo the themes of new beginnings and renewal synonymous with Chinese New Year. This warm, golden light accentuates the products and their botanical companions, creating a tranquil yet hopeful ambiance that mirrors the festival's spirit of rejuvenation.
